Question

Brian is having a baseball-shaped piñata at his birthday party. If the piñata has a diameter of 12 inches, approximately how many cubic inches of candy can it hold? (Use 3.14 for π.)

A. 150.72
B. 602.88
C. 7,234.56
D. 904.32

Answer 1

Option D.
`904.32\ in^(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the sphere (a baseball-shaped piñata ) is equal to

`V=(4)/(3)\pi r^(3)`

we have

`r=12/2=6\ in` -----> the radius is half the diameter

`\pi=3.14`

substitute the values

`V=(4)/(3)(3.14)(6)^(3)=904.32\ in^(3)`
